April 13, 201214 yr Thoughts? I love him. Especially the pre-'80's stuff. Gets sketchier after that. But man, does the guy have a hell of a songbook. From Astral Weeks to Veedon Fleece is an incredible 8 album run. Edited April 13, 201214 yr by formerkywrestler
April 13, 201214 yr I love him, but he's a guy that has really faded away. I watched something on Paladium from a show he did a couple of years ago. He sounded like he was wasted. I was far from impressed.

I was far from impressed.I've never heard one good thing about a live Van Morrison show that occured during my adult life (if not earlier).
April 13, 201214 yr Author I dig Van Morrison. "And It Stoned Me" is one of my all-time favorites.Some favorites of mine: "Into The Mystic" "And It Stoned Me" "Saint Dominic's Preview" "Crazy Love" "Warm Love" "Vanlose Stairway" "Tupelo Honey"
April 13, 201214 yr From Astral Weeks to Veedon Fleece is an incredible 8 album run. That's basically the entire Van Morrison catalog as far as I'm concerned.
April 13, 201214 yr I'd have to say my favorites are: Sweet Thing Tupelo Honey Crazy Love Caravan Everyone And It Stoned Me Side one of Moondance is pretty darn incredible...up there with Abbey Road side two and Led Zeppelin II side two. Oh, and speaking of live performances by Van Morrison, who doesn't love a good leg kick or two?
April 13, 201214 yr Boom... Is there a director working today that knows how to use music better than Wes Anderson? The only one I can think of that comes close is Tarantino.
April 13, 201214 yr Love the version of "Comfortably Numb" from Roger Waters' "Live at the Berlin Wall" in which Van Morrison does the David Gilmour vocals.
April 13, 201214 yr Is there a director working today that knows how to use music better than Wes Anderson? The only one I can think of that comes close is Tarantino. I totally agree about Wes Anderson...although I'd have to put Cameron Crowe above Tarantino, personally.
